Let me get this straight. The former president of the APA says he was the person who proposed the resolution to declassify homosexuality as a mental illness (without any scientific research) in the DSM...

“The first time it came up, and I was a member of [the] Council, this would have been, oh, 1975, because I remember that thats when I made the resolution, Cummings said. I made the resolution that being gay was not a mental illness, that it was characterological. And it passed the Council of Representatives. And that was the first issue that came up. I also said with that, that the APA, if it passes this resolution, will also vote to continue research that demonstrates whatever the research demonstrates. Unbiased, open research. It was never done.”

But he’s now complaining that the APA doesn’t use the “Leona Tyler Principle” (which requires that all public positions of the APA be supported by scientific evidence)??
